Nice! Was your test vehicle white? Given how similar everything else is between us I wouldn't be surprised if we've driven the exact same Rivian before, lol

It was! with 20" ATs equipped. So yes, we drove the same truck, because the guy told me there was only one other guy doing the First Mile drives around here, and I believe that one was El Cap

It's surreal to randomly come across another person that has driven the same exact car as you

Once you get your R1, swing by Acton, we can keep the streak alive!It's surreal to randomly come across another person that has driven the same exact car as you

Knowing that you want the same config as me the temptation to drive off with it will be high!

I would have had mine in March if I had taken 20” but I wanted 22” so I had to wait an additional ~60days. I was a LE holder but I’m sure they would rather make a few more bucks selling you the 20/22 upgrade. Maybe it’s a shortage but my guess is they’re just going FIFO and whatever shipping container comes in that’s what they’re slapping on.

I've got a VIN and the 8-steps, so I just finished a call with my guide to ask my remaining questions, and when I asked about the ATs she laughed and said it was definitely a good move to switch to 21s if I wanted to get delivery. She says they've really ramped production specifically on the 21s recently.

That awkward moment when your thread helped so many pre-order holders get their R1Ts, but CS tells you you're looking at an H2 2023 window 
. Only a little salty, but I'm happy this was overall beneficial to many. If anyone ever happens to meander their R1T over to Seattle, feel free to take pity on me with a test drive.

. I know others have waited much longer, of course, but several in Seattle with 12/21 preorders have been picking their trucks up. Between wilderness search + rescue and our backpacking trips, our want is slowly turning into a need and I might have to let my reservation go in a couple months.Sponsored

2H23 seems pretty late for a prioritized build going to probably Rivian's most delivered to/prioritized area, even for 1/22 order. I wonder if that means that they're planning to ramp down R1Ts to do R1S instead. Given that they're part constrained I guess that that's not too hard to believe though.1/13/22. It's in the signature
That said, if you keep up with what Rivian is batching at the time and adjust your order accordingly, you'll probably get it early.

My pre-order had the 20" AT wheels. I was contacted by a guide on 6/13. When I locked my configuration on 6/15, I asked what choices I could make to speed delivery. He told me that the 21" wheel would definitely get it here faster. As much as wanted the 20s, I really wanted to get the truck, whatever it took, so I made the change. I received my truck on Thursday 6/30. Original delivery window was December 21 - January 23.
Other things that sped delivery:
El Cap Granite (which was already my choice)
Black Mountain interior (Which I think was already my choice)
Power tonneau cover (Which I know is going to be the first thing to break)
No Camp Kitchen (still vaporware AFAIK)
No tent (Vaporware)
Originally my choices had been to keep costs down but once RJ announced in February that the focus for 2022 would be on Adventure Packages, large battery pack, etc., my choices became more about getting the truck sooner.

It's only been a few days with the R1T but my first impression is that I'm happy that I decided to go with the 21s, even beyond just that they got me my truck sooner. I'm seeing like 350mi+ of possible range which far exceeds my expectations. Plus the ride is outrageously smooth, snappy, and quiet!
